I"ve always loved this tasty Prine tune

I had a few of his records in H. School. Some fun stuff.

good stuff

GREAT songwriter.

+1 for John Prine - long time fan.

I think John is one of the finest lyricists ever...sorta like Towns Van Zandt but with a sense of humor. Kristofferson and Croce's got nothing on him.

Rydell · February 11th, 2013, 08:31 AM

I heard of him first through the " Lost dogs and mixed blessings" album. "Ain't hurtin nobody" and "Same thing happened to me" are still great songs. Bought me a couple of albums. Good stuff.

I had this album on vinyl ... He had some nice boots!

"Hello in There" is one of those tunes that just tugs on the old heartstrings. I play that one sometimes and it makes my wife get all choked up.

It takes a special kind of songwriter that can both crack you up or make you cry at the same show

God yes.
John Prine.
Some mighty solid finger pickin' for a 2-finger style... great song writing, great feel, and delivery, and a natural ability to play with other musicians.
And showcased some great players on stage and on his recordings.
I'll probably always love his first three LPs the most-- Dave Bromberg, Steve Goodman, Dave Prine, Leo LeBlanc, Grady Martin....
Amazing stuff there, on so many levels.
I got a lotta love for the Sound of Loneliness....
